PHOTOS. A trip to Marcel Ciolacu’s Patisserie From Buzău: the cakes are cheap, but they don’t have much cheese.

Located in Piaţa Centrală in Buzău, in one of the entrances of the agri-food industry, Lucia patisserie brought Marcel Ciolacu and his wife, Roxana, an income of about 100,000 euros in 2021.

The various amounts, expressed in lei, appear in the financial statements of the president of the Chamber of Deputies and are described as representing dividends from Lucia Com 94 SRL from Buzău. The company specializes in the production of bread and pastry products.

According to the listafirme.ro website, Lucia Com SRL announced, for the past year, 7 employees, a turnover of approximately 780,000 lei and a profit of 24,734 lei.

2015 was a terrible economic year

Dividends, part of the company’s income distributed to shareholders, based on the number of shares held, are not paid out of the net profit for a year. They can be paid from other annuities or from company savings.

Apparently, Marcel Ciolacu and his wife can collect a sum of 100,000 euros from a company that has a net profit of about 5,000 euros. In 2015, for example, the company Lucia Com 94 SRL, which at the time had a low turnover of 640,000 lei, announced a profit of 1,380,000 lei, double. This can happen if they sell some property, something from the company’s assets.

However, for 2015, according to the statement of assets on the website of the Chamber of Deputies, Marcel Ciolacu does not collect any dividends from the company Lucia Com 94 SRL, where he owns 55 percent of the shares.

The competition also sells ice cream

In the same area, when you enter the market, other companies with the same profile are working. Patisseria Lucia sells cakes for 60 lei per kilogram, cakes with cream for 6 lei per piece, and boxes of cookies that are durable and too good to be true. Cookie box, exactly one, also sells patisserie across the road, which does not give a tax receipt, and patisserie on the corner, a few steps from Marcel Ciolacu shop.

The patisserie on the corner, Primopan Felici SRL, also has an ice cream parlor and gathers more customers than the democratic leader’s patisserie. In 2021, Primopan Felici announced a turnover of 112,587 lei and a profit of 42,972 lei.

Dried and lots of sugar

Hot products, baked in the oven of Lucia patisserie, where you can see the workers at work, including pretzels smeared with sugar syrup, 1.8 lei per piece, bread and biscuits with Mozaic cocoa, 3 lei per piece, pâtés and apples and. pumpkin, 3 lei per piece, and cottage cheese, 3.5 lei each. Although small and square, the pâtés are generously filled with apples and grated pumpkin.

In contrast, cheese pies contain only plain cheese and have a stray raisin or two from other varieties. Instead, they are chewy loaves dusted with a generous amount of sugar.

There are one or two customers in the bakery. Many buy hot products, others study bread in the laboratory.

100,000 euros represents ten tons of cake or around 170,000 pâtés. Lucia Com 94 SRL has about 10-15 customers per hour, in addition to visitors who come in to enjoy the windows.

In the same company as the patisserie, the consulting company of the president of the PSD, Alcom SRL, with a turnover of 180,000 lei and which ended last year at a loss, was also registered.
